Importantly, your food has to taste very good so it’s easy to make the transition and stick with it!

Judy will show you how to easily make delectable raw sauces to transform simple meals into gourmet delights, teach you how to grow ridiculously nutritious sprouts in your kitchen, tell you about powerful culinary spices and share important knowledge about supplements you might want, or not-want, , to accompany your vegan food. She will answer questions and sign copies of Good Raw Food Recipes. Come to her presentation at 12.00 and find her sttall in Main Hall where there will be salad boxes, dips, crackers, and sugar-free all-natural raw sweet treats, and recipe books of course.
